And when it does, you\u2019ll need to know how to pack bedding and linens for a move too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good\nnews is that packing <strong>blankets, pillows,\ncushions, bed sheets, towels, and comforters<\/strong> will be one of the easiest\ntasks when packing up your home for moving. Wonder why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft goods are lightweight and definitely not fragile, meaning that they won\u2019t break if you accidentally drop any of them on the floor. Also, you won\u2019t have to worry about finding any of them broken into pieces after the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you\nstill want to make sure your bedding and linens arrive in the new place in\nperfect condition: unsoiled, clean, and ready to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these\ntips for packing bedding and linens for moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Packing_supplies_for_packing_your_bedding_\">Packing supplies for packing your bedding <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to\nkeep your soft goods protected during the entire move &#8211; until the moment you\nget to unpack them safely in the new home, you\u2019re going to need a number of\npacking supplies to get the job done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before\nanything else, gather the following packing materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Moving boxes<\/strong>. You\u2019re going to need medium and large cardboard boxes in good condition. It\u2019s okay to use second-hand moving boxes (<a href=\"\/move\/get-boxes-for-moving\/\">free moving boxes!<\/a>) to pack up your bedding and linens as long as those cardboard containers are strong, clean, and dry. <\/li><li><strong>Packing paper<\/strong>. Use only soft packing paper that\u2019s blank, acid-free, and ink-free (newsprint). Don\u2019t make the mistake of using ordinary newspapers because their ink can easily damage your delicate fabrics.<\/li><li><strong>Plastic bags<\/strong>. Plastic bags will protect your soft goods against moisture and dirt. Also, you may be willing to invest in several vacuum storage bags that will be especially useful when packing and moving very voluminous items such as pillows, cushions, comforters, and duvets.<\/li><li><strong>Packing tape<\/strong>. Standard packing tape will do just fine.<\/li><li><strong>Marker<\/strong>. Make sure you\u2019ve got at least one black marker ready to label the moving boxes once you\u2019ve filled them up.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/packing-supplies-for-moving\/\">Packing Supplies You Can&#8217;t Do Without<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"What_to_know_before_packing_bedding_and_linens\">What to know before packing bedding and linens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you will learn in a bit, packing linens and bedding for moving is not complicated in any way and can even be viewed as a pretty straightforward task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, there are a number of specifics that you\u2019ll need to be aware of so that you can keep your soft goods protected during the house move. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/packing-timeline\/\">Packing Timeline: What to Pack When for Moving<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Pack_your_bedding_and_linens_last\">Pack your bedding and linens last<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Packing your bedding will definitely be one of the easiest things to do when moving house so it makes sense to leave that task for last when your packing energy and motivation will be (almost) spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-aspectratio=\"450\/300\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.mymovingreviews.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bedclothes-in-closet.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30312 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bedclothes-in-closet.jpg 450w, https:\/\/moveadvisor.com\/move\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/bedclothes-in-closet-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption>Which bedding items are hiding in the closet?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> Keep in mind the correct packing order &#8211; starting from the rooms and items that are really tough to pack and ending with the rooms and things that are straightforward to wrap up and box for a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason to leave the job of packing your bedding and linens for the last few days prior to moving day is that you should be able to tackle it all fairly quickly. Why? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s simply because you won\u2019t need to spend any extra time protecting any fragile or breakable areas of your pillows, bed sheets, blankets, towels, or comforters. All of them are soft, fluffy, and downy, and your major concern will be how to create enough packing space for them rather than how to keep them from getting broken during transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third and final reason why you\u2019ll want to leave packing bedding for last is that you\u2019ll keep using most of those bedding items right until it\u2019s time to leave the house &#8211; a set of bed sheets, pillows, and covers for each bed in use, plus towels for the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/what-to-pack-first-when-moving\/\">What to Pack First When Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Use_your_soft_goods_to_protect_fragile_items\">Use your soft goods to protect fragile items<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to\nbear in mind when packing soft goods for moving is that these items work great\nfor protecting breakable items and padding other boxes that contain extra\nfragile things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore,\nunless you own very expensive bedding and linens or ones that have never been\nused before, you\u2019re encouraged to use your regular everyday blankets, towels,\nand bed sheets to complete a couple of critical objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>protect\nfragile items, and <\/li><li>fill\nin empty spaces inside the boxes to prevent any shifting inside.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly\nenough, the best way to pack bedding for a move is to use some of your soft\nbedroom items to protect some of the extra fragile and breakable things you own\nand plan to take with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"\/move\/pack-fragile-items-for-moving\/\">How to Pack Fragile Items When Moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Maximize_space_to_increase_packing_efficiency\">Maximize space to increase packing efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since most\nof your bedding items will be rather voluminous, the space inside the available\ncardboard boxes can soon become an issue.
